Today's Subhashita.

अस्थिरं  कुलसंबन्धः सदा विद्या विवादिनी |
मदो  मोहाय  मिथ्याय  मुहूर्तनिधनं  धनं   || -महासुभषितसंग्रह (३८८७)

अर्थ -    समाज के विभिन्न वर्गों का आपस में संबन्ध सदैव अस्थायी
होता है और विद्या (ज्ञान) के कारण अनेक विवाद उत्पन्न होते हैं |
किसी बात और वस्तु पर अहंकार या मोह करना व्यर्थ है क्यों कि धन
संपत्ति (और मनुष्य का भी ) का नाश बहुत ही  थोडे  समय में कभी
भी हो सकता है |
('विद्या विवादाय'  का तात्पर्य विद्वानों मे किसी विषय  में  मत भेद
होने से है , जो कि एक सामान्य प्रक्रिया है | )
|  
Asthiram kulasambandhah sadaa vidyaa vivadinee.
Mado mohaaya mithyaaya muhoortanidhanam dhanam.

Asthiram = uncertain, unstable.    Kulasambandhah = kula +
sambandhh.     Kula = tribe, clan.    Sambandhah = integration
Sadaa = always.    Vdyaa = learning, knwledge,    Vivaadinee =
subject matter of a dispute.    Mado =  pride, drunkennes.
Mohaaya =   infatuation     Mithyaaya = false., in vain.    Muhoorta =
a short period of time.   Nidhanam = death.    Dhanam = wealth.

i.e.       Interaction between two clans (or communities) is always
uncertain, and knowledge always creates disputes among scholars.
It is futile to be very proud and also have infatuation of any kind,
because the wealth (and also the life of a person) can be destroyed
in a very short time.

(There is always possibility of a different opinion among the scholars
over a subject , which has been referred to as 'creation of a dispute'
in the above Subhashita .)
